Abigail
Funeral
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
"We are gathered here tonight,
to lay to rest Abigail la Fey,
whom we now know
was first born dead
on the seventh day of July, 1777.
Abigail must be nailed to her coffin
with seven silver spikes,
one through each arm, hand, and knee,
and let the last of the seven be drawn through her mouth
so that she may never arise and cause evil again.
Who will be the first?"
"I, O'Brian of the Black Horsemen...."
Arrival
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
"That must be it!"
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads meet below,
And where all darkness seems to grow.
People blame it on the hill
The hill where no one dares to go....
The Mansion
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes.
They were in for a surprise
The darkness would soon be complete.
A horseman came forth from the dark
"We know you've come to inherit what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advise and go back on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help, my friend
" I think poor Jonathan was scared
18 is actually 9....It stuck in his mind
A Mansion In Darkness
(Music by La Rocque and King Diamond/Lyrics
by: King Diamond)
Riding up the alley in the rain,
No lights to show the way.
How could this ever be their home?
Through the darkness you could only see
A giant shadow which was to be
A house where evil ruled at night
And the shadows at the gate, they seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the shadows at the gate....alive
Everything inside was left untouched
Except for what the rats had got,
And the dust of time that showed its mark.
Armed with candlelight and open eyes
Through the dark they fought their way
'Til every room was lit again
And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the house began to breathe....alive.
As the candlelight began to fade,
And Jonathan said, "Let's go to bed."
The fireplace had ceased to burn
Both were fast asleep before the dawn,
Dreaming....dreaming.....
And they did not know about the shadow
Yeah, the shadow on the wall, it really came alive.
Yeah, the shadow on the wall....Sunrise!
The Family Ghost
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
The darkness came closer to home on the following night,
And Miriam slept like a rock when Jonathan's face went white
The bedroom was ice cold,
But the fire was burning still.
The blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again....The Ghost
"Don't be scared. Don't be scared now, my friend.
I am Count de LaFey.
Let me take you to the crypt down below.
Where Abigail rests
Let Miriam sleep.
She never would understand.
Now come let us go.....It's time to know"
"Beware of the slippery stairs.
You could easily fall and break your neck
Hand me that torch and I will lead the way
To the secret in the dark.
Take a look into the vault
The sarcophagus of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years stillborn.
Born.....born.....born
"The spirit of Abigail is inside your wife,
And there's only one way you can stop the rebirth of Evil itself:
You must take her life now"
The 7th Day Of July 1777
(Music by La Rocque and King Diamond/Lyrics by: King Diamond)
Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating wife.
Nine months of loving and sharing
Oh, it was a bastard child
How could he have been so blind
"No bastard baby
will inherit what's mine!"
Another one of her affairs
had left him in despair
So he pushed her down the stairs
to die...."No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July
The Countess broke her neck,
And the embryo came out dead.
Then he burned his beloved wife,
And the embryo he gave a name
"Abigail, you must rest in shame"
Rest in shame
Obsessed
With a strange idea,
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find....and he did.
So he pushed her down the stairs
to die....."No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July
Omens
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
Nobody's inside the church, but the bell is ringing.
For no reason, the flowers are dying.
Oh, deadly Omens
Oh, deadly Omens
Inside the mansion, the air is unbearable, a rotten smell.
In the dining room, the table is set for three.
Oh, deadly Omens
Oh, deadly Omens
"Miriam, come here and see what I've found. It's moving
An empty cradle swaying in the air
I did not bring it in here! Did you?"
"No, no, no!"
Oh, deadly Omens
Oh, deadly Omens
The Possession
(Music by Denner and King Diamond/Lyrics by: King Diamond)
On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten away by the sun,
Miriam grew hour by hour, and
Jonathan he cried.
He knew the ghost had been telling the truth.
So this was 9
The pregnancy would not last overnight
Oh, she started singing
A lullaby, Rocking the cradle again,
And then she said,
"I'm having your baby my love....love"
But it wasn't love! Oh no
She was possessed.....and he knew
"I will get what is rightfully mine!"
Speaking with different tongues,
Miriam was eaten alive from inside.
Again she said,
"I'm having your baby my love....love"
But it wasn't love! Oh no
She was possessed.....possessed
Abigail
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
"Abigail! I know you're in control of her brain, Abigail
And I know that you're the one that's speaking
through her, Abigail
Miriam, can you hear me"
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head....."
"Abigail! don't you think I know what you've done, Abigail
I'll get a priest! he will know
how to get her soul back!"
"Oh, Jonathan, this is Miriam
Our time is out
Remember the stairs, it's the only way"
"Abigail! nothing I can do but give in, Abigail."
"Jonathan, I agree.....yes I do"
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head.....soon I'll be free!!!"
Black Horsemen
(Music and Lyrics by: King Diamond)
So, there they stood at the top of the stairs
Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared.
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw star
For a second, he turned his back,
And she was there like a ghost.
She pushed him hard and clean
to the bottom of the stairs.
"Now we're finally alone, Miriam.
Abigail is here to stay"
The birth of Abigail would soon be realized.
The second coming of a devil in disguise.
And the moon did not shine
It was darker than ever before.
On this sacred night
The soul of Miriam was crying out in pain.
Remembering the day, Arrival in the rain
The pain of labour was so strong that Miriam died.
Her final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes.
You can still hear her screaming
If you're walking the stairs in July
Riding from beyond,
The seven Horsemen would arrive before the dawn.
Servants of the Count when Abigail was born the first time.
Oh, no! They found her in the sarcophagus.
Baby Abigail was eating, oh, I cannot tell you
"Take her....and bring her
To the chapel in the forest.
So go now.....the ceremony
And the coffin's waiting."
The Black Horsemen
That's the end of another lullaby
Time has come for me to say goodnight
